Peugeot Epine Concept Car is Inspired by Formula One and Motorcycles

Peugeot Epine was basically a project that was supposed
to turn into an environmentally friendly hybrid vehicle, but eventually it turned into a “consumer’s racing car”. Inspired by Formula One cars and motorcycles, Epine features a whale skeleton, as a tribute to Mother Nature. The concept car was created by Daniel Schumpert.



This Peugeot ride relies on the Epine system, with an innovative seating arrangement and the drive-by-wire technology, as far as steering is concerned. The energy source of the vehicle is placed at the back, while the storage area is at the front of the car.





Also, we found out that Epine uses the Michelin Tweel concept airless wheels, with a positive impact on the suspension system. Turns out that the wheel spokes are able to compress and decompress, thanks to the materials they’re made out of, allowing a wide variety of car motions. This futuristic Peugeot measures 4,260 mm (length), 1,882mm (width) and 1153mm (height).
